Yes, that's what I meant: kernel config :)

I thought about, using openSUSE tools, build a kernel close to the
Raspbian's one. Maybe that's what Manjaro did.

Now I have 3 SD cards with Raspbian, Manjaro and openSUSE (your in
development port).

Talking about kernel versions...

openSUSE Leap 15.1 for x86-64 - 4.12.14 (I use it on my laptop)
Manjaro ARM 19.08 with XFCE - 4.19.65 *
Raspbian Buster (10.0) - 4.19.66 * see they are close?
Your latest build - 5.3.rc8 (according to openSUSE-Tumbleweed-JeOS ...
.packages)
openSUSE Tumbleweed for x86-64 - 5.3.1 (according to software.opensuse.org)

In kernel.org:

stable - 5.3.2
longterm - 4.19.76

I think I'm going to follow your work, but in parallel I will try to
port openSUSE Leap 15.1 to RPi4 using an older kernel (4.19.x). Or
maybe I will work on 15.2, it seems people are already working on it.

I've got a lot to study: how to build ARM packages with OBS, how to
compile kernels, how to build OEM images with KIWI / OBS (I'm used to
build live ISOs)...

Thank you for your efforts and explanations!
